Short answer:<\/strong> ideally, supply your logo as a vector file (.ai, .eps or .pdf). A .psd or a large .jpg or .png also works; our design team makes it print-ready. After your order or quote request, you receive a free digital print proof within one working day. Production only starts after your approval.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A great printed product starts with a good logo file and a clear print proof. In this article you can read which files work best, why a vector file makes the difference and how ordering at Hidalgo works step by step.<\/p>\n

Why a vector file?<\/h2>\n

A vector file consists of lines and shapes defined mathematically. You can enlarge it without limit and it never gets blurry, and the colours can be separated exactly. That matters for techniques such as screen printing and pad printing, where each colour is printed separately, and for embroidery, where the logo is converted into stitches.<\/p>\n

A .jpg or .png is a pixel file. Enlarge it and the edges become blurry. A small logo taken from your website is therefore usually not suitable for printing. No vector file? Ask your designer or printer; they usually still have it. If that fails, our design team can often still make your logo print-ready.<\/p>\n
